[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\DefaultIcon]

@="\"%1\""

This doesn't look right. Should point to an entry in iexplore.exe instead of itself, as HTML files do not contain icons themselves.

--> iexplore.exe,-17 seems to be the right icon

You may need to delete the shelliconcache for it to recognise the new icon.
